    "Analysts are apparently united in their belief that the 3DS is of crucial importance to the gaming giant as people are gradually tiring of playing on consoles."

    I thought PC gaming was dying?

    I get the feeling this relates to more the aspect of mobile gaming ?.

    There's possibly more growth in games created for say iOS and Android, simple impulse £2.99 purchases that you can take with you wherever you go, than having a £150 console with a £35 game hooked up to a £450 TV ?.

    I have no idea of the figures but this market must be getting huge, as I know that myself and my family are now part of this brigade (ooh that game looks good, only £1.49, I'll buy that whilst I'm waiting for Dragon's Den to come on and have a quick play).
    I'm not fat and I'm not 40

    Oh Nintendo. No matter how much you disappoint me with your Wii you never fail to excite me with your portables.
